How to do a colon cleanse with aloe vera

How to do a colon cleanse with aloe vera

USES & BENEFITS OF A COLON CLEANSE WITH ALOE VERA:
  • Aloe vera is a safe way of cleaning the gastrointestinal tract. It flushes out toxic fecal accumulation that had built up over years.
  • It heals and rebuilds the cells in the gastrointestinal tract while cleaning
  • It rids the digestive gastrointestinal tract of excesses in harmful flora like yeast and unfriendly bacteria
  • Before her naturopathic journey, Miss C had had “low enzyme activity”. Her naturopathic doctor prescribed aloe vera juice which helped with that. With greater enzymes activity, food can change chemically so that we could absorb their nutrients.

  • Ultimately, cleaning the gastrointestinal tract improves how well it functions. For instance, toxic build up will no longer prevent your body from absorbing the nutrients that you eat
  • Good for occasional use to treat digestive problems like constipation
  • Other health giving side effects: It is nutritional. Specifically, it provides many vitamins that include A, various types of B, C and E. It also provides minerals that include calcium, magnesium and zinc. It also improves immunity, metabolism, blood oxygenation and the production of antibodies to fight diseases. These benefits are largely attributed to its many health giving amino acids. It provides overall good health not only since a cleaner body is better able to heal and maintain itself but also because it is an adaptogenic (ie it regulates the body's systems). For example, whether you suffer from high or low blood pressure, aloe vera regulates it to normal, healthy levels. Furthermore, you look and feel better. You may lose excess weight, lower blood sugar in the body, get less headaches, get healthier skin and hair. It fights and prevents viral infections that, among other things include the common cold.
 
TO DO A COLON CLEANSE WITH ALOE VERA, YOU WILL NEED:
  • An aloe vera leaf (the more mature, the better)
We prefer getting the leaf from the plant over using the commercial type. There is added value in eating something that we cut only a few minutes earlier. To our knowledge, commercial aloe vera is mostly pasteurized and can lose some of its nutritional. We also wonder about the method of transportation to market and storage periods. Please let us know your thoughts on this matter.
  • Lemonade or orange juice
The sweetness of the juice is useful for eliminating the natural bitter taste of the aloe vera
  • Cling wrap (optional)
 






INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOING A COLON CLEANSE WITH ALOE VERA:
  • Ensure that the juice is sufficiently sweet and set it aside. Adjust the sweetness according to taste.
  • Cut off the piece of the aloe vera leaf that you will use. When you start, you may start with about 2-3 cm. Over time, increase this quantity. Your tolerance for the bitterness of natural aloe vera will increase in time and you may not need the juice to be too sweet.
  • Wash the skin of the leaf thoroughly with a dedicated food sponge
  • Remove the sharp thorny side edges
  • Rinse the piece of aloe vera with cold water to remove any excess gel
  • Add the aloe vera to the juice in one of several ways: (1) Blend it. However, you are more likely to taste the bitterness of the natural aloe vera gel; (2) If you are new to this, you may remove the skin. Cut the aloe vera gel into tiny pieces and add those pieces of aloe vera into the juice without stirring. Rather than throw away the skins, you can rub the inside part of the skin over your face as a moisturizer; (3) After getting used to taking aloe vera, chop up the aloe vera into as tiny pieces as possible with the skin still intact. Note that, if you leave the skin on, the purging effect can be stronger. Add the tiny pieces of aloe vera into the juice without stirring.
    • -- --
  • Drink the juice
  • Place the remainder of aloe vera in a container that can support it in a vertical position where the cut side is upwards. The cut section may start to heal and seal off the gel inside within a few minutes. However, if the leaf is extremely succulent and not healing as quickly, you may also cover the exposed section with a piece of cling wrap that is large enough to seal the cut.
  • Feel free to continue to use aloe vera gel routinely even after the cleanse period.

Colon Cleanse - How to make homemade noni juice

USES & BENEFITS:
Noni has been used for centuries to clean the colon. Having a clean colon improves absorption of nutrients from food during the process of digestion. The consequent health benefits of an improved digestive system are numerous. (We will discuss this in due course).

Noni fruit provides about 150 nutraceuticals ie it is a food with health and medical benefits that include disease prevention and treatment. Much of its health benefit occurs at the level of the blood cells which then results in visible health benefits. For instance, it is rich in antioxidants which improve cellular health. In turn, this boosts immunity, can fight cancer and other microbial health risks. In fact, many commercial supplments and other health products are now including noni for these reasons. People who have suffered structural irregularities in their blood cells have even reported a visible difference in live blood analysis. Noni is adaptogenic. This means that it take a personalized approach to regulating life systems of each person to create healthy balance. For instance, it is useful for regulating abnormal blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Furthermore, it is said that people can expect an elevated feeling of wellbeing and an energy boost. Regarding harmful side effects, when taken in suitable health circumstances, it does not appear to have adverse effects. However, due to its high levels of potassium, noni juice may may pose health risks for people who suffer from kidney ailments and or need to follow a potassium-restricted diet.

YOU WILL NEED:
  • Noni fruit (note that the noni fruit yields juice that is roughly 1/10th of weight of the fruit)
  • Jar(s) with a lid (the wider the opening, the better)
  • A Strainer
  • 2 months

INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Pick the fruit from the tree
  2. Wash the fruit with water.
  3. If you pick them firm, they will usually have no smell. Their skin should no longer be green. Instead, the noni fruit should have a milky off-white or cream (not green) color. You will need to leave them in a cool, dark place until they ripen. They may take about one week or less to ripen fully.
  4. You will know when noni fruit is ripe because it will be very soft and have a strong odor. Some people liken the smell to rotten cheese. It may even be possible to see some of the dark seeds through the translucent skin and flesh of a very ripe noni fruit.
  5. If you pick them ripe, be careful not to damage the delicate noni skin and flesh when washing it with water
    6. --

  6. Pack the noni into a jar
  7. Be sure to securely close and label the jar with the date
  8. Leave the jar in direct sun light for 2 months
  9. During this period, the fruit will shrink while releasing a transparent, dark brown liquid
  10. Strain the liquid
  11. The remaining pith may be used as fertilizer or compost. The seeds may be used to grow a stronger plant than would result if you used a cutting.
  12. As an option if the taste is difficult to endure, add a sweet juice like raspberry for instance. Of late, we use black current juice. Do not dilute the noni juice too much. An acceptable ratio can contain 2 parts or more of noni juice and 1 part of sweet juice.
  13. Take about 1 ounce each morning on an empty stomach. Consider taking noni juice routinely. Many people do this to maintain a clean colon and enjoy the other health benefits
  14. Since the medicinal properties are released after fermentation, it is not worthwhile eating unfermented noni fruits, especially when they are still green.

OBSERVATIONS:
The fermented noni juice tastes like a very fruity vinegar
The smell of the fermented noni juice is many times milder than the unfermented noni fruit.
